NOTE: In AutoStick威 mode, the transmission will only
shift up or down when the driver moves the shift lever to
the right (+) or left (-), or as described below.
AutoStick威 is deactivated when the shift lever is shifted
from the AutoStick (+/-) position into the DRIVE
position.
General Information
•
You can start out, from a stop, in any gear except sixth.
The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low
of a vehicle speed.
•
If a ratio other than first gear is selected, and the
vehicle is brought to a stop, the transmission control
logic will automatically select the first gear ratio.
•
Starting out in second gear is helpful in snowy or icy
conditions. To select second gear after the vehicle is
brought to a stop, tap the shift lever to the right (+)
once.
•
Avoid using speed control when AutoStick威 is en-
gaged.
•
The transmission will automatically shift up when
maximum engine speed is reached while AutoStick威 is
engaged.
•
Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when
AutoStick威 is engaged.
•
If a downshift would cause the engine to over-speed,
that shift will not occur until it is safe for the engine.
•
If the system detects powertrain overheating, the
transmission will revert to the automatic shift mode
and remain in that mode until the powertrain cools off.
•
If the system detects a problem, it will disable the
AutoStick威 mode and the transmission will return to
the automatic mode until the problem is corrected.
